The linebackers are Eddie Young and Mike Mohamed on the outside and D.J. Holt and Mychal Kendricks inside. Mohamed was inside after spring and Devin Bishop is now a backup inside after being No. 1 outside.

The starting secondary remains the same, but Jesse Brooks is a backup safety -- instead of D.J. Campbell --- and Josh Hill is Darian Hagan's backup instead of Chris Conte, who's now at safety.

Giorgio Tavecchio is the No. 1 kicker over David Seawright.

Syd'Quan Thompson is the No. 1 punt returner; Jahvid Best will return kicks.
